That’s one thing I find blocks useful for. Blocks actually IS a more modern way of doing this, since this is a rather “old” MIDI feature even in apps like Pro Tools have had for years and IIRC was not as clear in use as it could be. What is it about using blocks for this that isn’t working for you?

I still don’t understand why anyone would need to layer blocks. if we’re talking about MIDI, you can already add multiple lanes for the same instrument (to have one MIDI lane dedicated to kick and snare, another for toms, and another for cymbals, for example). they can all be manipulated/managed the same in Blocks as if they were separate instruments. you probably wouldn’t want that same functionality for audio tracks. I think layering Blocks would make it even less intuitive, not more.

I think Props would say "we've already done it with Blocks".
copy the clip(s) into a block, then paint the blocks back into your sequencer. couldn’t be easier. that’s one of the best scenarios I could think of for using blocks.
I do get the hesitancy though—it’s always weird when there’s a tool that can do what you want, but just isn’t implemented the way you’d prefer, and you kind of have to acclimate to it. I feel the same way about Session view in Ableton—a lot of people love it, but the way it works can be pretty confounding to me when I expect it should work differently than it does. I just need to get more comfortable with it though I think, and then I suspect I’ll enjoy it.
